Engaging Stakeholders in a Mission-Anchored Compensation Strategy

| Workshop

Register

Independent schools are the ultimate “people” business, and compensating the employees delivering your school’s mission every day is critically important to the health and stability of your school and must be balanced with a financially sustainable system. However, in a relational environment like a school, gaining the support of your stakeholders can be more integral to the success of a compensation system than its structure.

When it comes to compensation, stakeholders come in many forms, and each stakeholder’s investment and role in the process of considering and determining changes will be different. Join NBOA subject-matter experts in this workshop to discuss the role of stakeholders in your school’s process as you contemplate changes to your compensation system.

Recommended Audience: Heads of School, Business Officers, Human Resources Professionals, and Controllers

Learning Objective(s):

  • Learn who the stakeholders are in a school’s compensation system.
  • Learn communication and feedback systems commonly used by schools as a part of change management.
  • Learn best practices for compensation system implementation.
